*** EXCLUSIVE – VIDEO AVAILABLE ***ALGOA BAY, SOUTH AFRICA – MARCH 2017: The young killer whale has a missing dorsal fin and right-side pectoral fin, in Algoa Bay, South Africa, March 2017.A DISABLED orca first spotted by a couple in 2013 returns to greet them four years later – and now hes leading the pod. In 2013, photographer and marine tour guides Rainer and Silke Schimpf spotted a young killer whale, who they named Sira, with a missing dorsal fin and right-side pectoral fin, leaving him unable to hunt for himself. But rather than be left to fend for itself or – even worse – die the young calf appeared to be cared for by members of its pod, which shared food with the youngster. Four years later, by chance and coincidence, Rainer and Silke were out at sea in Algoa Bay, South Africa, documenting a pod of 1000 common dolphin hunting sardine when they had the surprise of a lifetime.PHOTOGRAPH BY Rainier and Silke Schimpf / Barcroft ImagesLondon-T: 44 207 033 1031 E:hello@barcroftmedia.com –New York-T: 1 212 796 2458 E:hello@barcroftusa.com –New Delhi-T: 91 11 4053 2429 E:hello@barcroftindia.com www.barcroftimages.com (Photo credit should read Rainier

4. San Diego California — San Diego Killer Whales

Again, this is another opportunity for McMahon to capitalize on a NFL misstep. It has only been one year but the Chargers are struggling in Los Angeles. The Chargers currently play in a MLS stadium, their attendance was poor, often being out numbered by visiting fans. McMahon can put a team back in San Diego and recapture the fan base. If the Chargers don’t work out in Los Angeles the NFL will have a tough time moving them back to San Diego as a fall back.

The Killer Whales name fits the ocean city, it allows for flexibility in color scheme and logo design. One option is to go with a black and white color scheme that matches an actual Killer Whale and build a logo around that. The other option is to go with a blue base color with red undertones with an intimidating whale logo. Both whale logos are an option, but this is also a chance for the XFL to bring back the Chargers in their own way. The name the San Diego Bolts would show the NFL that the XFL wants to be a serious threat to their success.
